of whatever value may be the remaind er of my life and none sets more value on it than 1 do i would give it in support of the union 1 hope i may not live to see its dissolution : but if unable to avert its fate i would be buried beneath us ru ins ! i am charmed with the good feeling and universal patriotism which this meet ing has exhibited ; and god grant that you may devise some plan to save that union to which we all in heart and soul are so much attached ! the meeting then adjourned with three cheers for the union and compromise nat intelligencer the presidential nominations at tiie south with the exception of one newspaper in tennessee at knoxville we have not received a single whig paper from any southern state excepl georgia that refus es to support the nominations for 1 resi dent an!l vice president lately made by the whig national convention on the contrary they promptly and manfully place tbe names of the candidates at the head of their columns and promise to give them a cordial and hearty support lhe following article from the eulaula ala j shield is in the right spirit nat lit ofr flag we unfurl to the breeze this week our banner with the names ot scott and graham inscribed thereon as candidates for the presidency and \ ice . presidency of the united states | in doing so it is useless to say that gen scott was notour preference for that dis tinguished and honorable position eve ry one who knows our sentiment is aware that we have from the first advocated strenuously the claims of our worthy and patriotic chief magistrate millard fill more the convention which has just closed its labors in its wisdom and discre tion has deemed it impolitic to nominate him and we have determined to abide in good faith the nomination of gen scott we will support him â€” because we believe him to be more i-i a statesman than gen pierce equal ed on questions of vital interest to tin south with more experience and ca pacity for the station 2d because he has planted himself up on a platform manufactured by the hands of southern men â€” a platform guaranty ing every thing claimed by the south â€” and a platform of such sound timbers and constructed in such an elegant style of workmanship as to be ample and capa cious enough for the north south east and west as common brotherhood 3d we will support him because he is a man of unquestionable ability unblem ished character unflinching patriotism of high and noble impulses and a man who when convinced that he is right goes ahead lastly we will support him because we are convinced that the reorganization of old parties at the south is inevitable lie is a whig has always been one and expects always to be one ; therefore we would prefer defeat with our friends than triumph with our enemies these are some of the reasons why we will support the statesman hero and pa triot ; fully confident that if the whigs will unite as the should in the sustainance of such a man and such principles one of the most brilliant victories will be ours that was ever recorded in the history of our country recollect the language of him who said " united we stand â€” divided wc fall the " north alabamian published at tuscumbia thus announces the reception of the notni nations and its purpose to maintain them : the whig nominees â€” in another col umn we give the platform of principles adopted by the whig national conven tion together with the response by a por tion of the whig press to the nominatiens solar all looks well nocompaign with in our recollection has opened as flatter ingly it is true that a few southern whig papers refuse to support gen scott and occasionally we find individuals oc cupying the same position yet those who remember the reception of the nomina tion of gen harrison over henry clay in 1840 and the marked dissatisfaction of a large portion of the southern whigs will feel small uneasiness for the final de termination of the present discontents â€” they will be compelled to support either scott pierce or nobody ; and we know too well the material of which southern whigs are composed to believe for a mo ment that they can be driven into the sup port of locofocoism or to give " aid and comfort to the enemy by standing aloof merely because they did not get their fa vorite candidate such a course would be a virtual acknowledgment that they held in higher regard than principles â€” iiii to our whig friends all il mo lar and we should not be . . surprised if scott receives a vote equ .. to that of harrison in 1810 the contest the election is but three weeks off at no former period in the whole history of norlh carolina was there ever a more important elec tion in the state in the bearings it will have upon both national and local politics than the one so shortly to take place ; and il behooves not only every whig â€” every man who is in re ality a whig â€” but every lover ol his slate and country every friend ot the rights ofthe peo ple to be up and doing ! never were the lead ers of the parly making such active and un scrupulous exertions to perpetuate themselves in place as are being made by the locofoco leaders in this slate irom the lowest extremity to the summits ol the 13lue ridge the short lived triumph which ihey obtained two years aÂ«'o has inspired them wilh confidence in the present contest and our friends may rest as sured that the conflict will be a fierce one and if the train-bands of locofocoism shall be forced to surrender on the oih of august as we trust in heaven they may and confidently be lieve they will it will not be for the want of any advantage which cunning vigilance deception falsehood and money can give them ! in view then of these facts what shall we say to our whig brethren proper of north carolina ? will they once more buckle on their armor and go forth to the rescue 1 can they be depended upon in thc present crisis ? will they not stand by their glorious candidates state and nalional 1 will they not send to our friends in every part ot the union the assur ance that noi th carolina whoever else may falter stands by them lo the last ? and what shail we say to the freemen generally ofthe state â€” tbe ti lends oi popular rights nnd ofthe people's sovereignly !

â€” now again however it seems to be found necessary to import one of tlie same polili cal missionaries to enlighten the " ignor ant and benighted people of the state further and to prop up the rider of that same free suffrage bantling which he in troduced into our midst as an element of party capital ! we have widely mistaken the character of the people ol norlh carolina if they will not set their faces as flints against such impudent attempts to dictate to them what are their duties and what their rights the main question involved in this campaign and virtually to be decided by it is of a local bearing and of vital im portance to our domestic concerns â€” being nothing more nor less than the question whether it shall be submitted to the peo ple to say if they desire a convention to amend their own constitution or not and here comes up a locofoco aspirant for the presidency from the non-slave holding !

of whatever value may be the remaind er of my life and none sets more value on it than 1 do i would give it in support of the union 1 hope i may not live to see its dissolution : but if unable to avert its fate i would be buried beneath us ru ins ! i am charmed with the good feeling and universal patriotism which this meet ing has exhibited ; and god grant that you may devise some plan to save that union to which we all in heart and soul are so much attached ! the meeting then adjourned with three cheers for the union and compromise nat intelligencer the presidential nominations at tiie south with the exception of one newspaper in tennessee at knoxville we have not received a single whig paper from any southern state excepl georgia that refus es to support the nominations for 1 resi dent an!l vice president lately made by the whig national convention on the contrary they promptly and manfully place tbe names of the candidates at the head of their columns and promise to give them a cordial and hearty support lhe following article from the eulaula ala j shield is in the right spirit nat lit ofr flag we unfurl to the breeze this week our banner with the names ot scott and graham inscribed thereon as candidates for the presidency and \ ice . presidency of the united states | in doing so it is useless to say that gen scott was notour preference for that dis tinguished and honorable position eve ry one who knows our sentiment is aware that we have from the first advocated strenuously the claims of our worthy and patriotic chief magistrate millard fill more the convention which has just closed its labors in its wisdom and discre tion has deemed it impolitic to nominate him and we have determined to abide in good faith the nomination of gen scott we will support him â€” because we believe him to be more i-i a statesman than gen pierce equal ed on questions of vital interest to tin south with more experience and ca pacity for the station 2d because he has planted himself up on a platform manufactured by the hands of southern men â€” a platform guaranty ing every thing claimed by the south â€” and a platform of such sound timbers and constructed in such an elegant style of workmanship as to be ample and capa cious enough for the north south east and west as common brotherhood 3d we will support him because he is a man of unquestionable ability unblem ished character unflinching patriotism of high and noble impulses and a man who when convinced that he is right goes ahead lastly we will support him because we are convinced that the reorganization of old parties at the south is inevitable lie is a whig has always been one and expects always to be one ; therefore we would prefer defeat with our friends than triumph with our enemies these are some of the reasons why we will support the statesman hero and pa triot ; fully confident that if the whigs will unite as the should in the sustainance of such a man and such principles one of the most brilliant victories will be ours that was ever recorded in the history of our country recollect the language of him who said " united we stand â€” divided wc fall the " north alabamian published at tuscumbia thus announces the reception of the notni nations and its purpose to maintain them : the whig nominees â€” in another col umn we give the platform of principles adopted by the whig national conven tion together with the response by a por tion of the whig press to the nominatiens solar all looks well nocompaign with in our recollection has opened as flatter ingly it is true that a few southern whig papers refuse to support gen scott and occasionally we find individuals oc cupying the same position yet those who remember the reception of the nomina tion of gen harrison over henry clay in 1840 and the marked dissatisfaction of a large portion of the southern whigs will feel small uneasiness for the final de termination of the present discontents â€” they will be compelled to support either scott pierce or nobody ; and we know too well the material of which southern whigs are composed to believe for a mo ment that they can be driven into the sup port of locofocoism or to give " aid and comfort to the enemy by standing aloof merely because they did not get their fa vorite candidate such a course would be a virtual acknowledgment that they held in higher regard than principles â€” iiii to our whig friends all il mo lar and we should not be . . surprised if scott receives a vote equ .. to that of harrison in 1810 the contest the election is but three weeks off at no former period in the whole history of norlh carolina was there ever a more important elec tion in the state in the bearings it will have upon both national and local politics than the one so shortly to take place ; and il behooves not only every whig â€” every man who is in re ality a whig â€” but every lover ol his slate and country every friend ot the rights ofthe peo ple to be up and doing ! never were the lead ers of the parly making such active and un scrupulous exertions to perpetuate themselves in place as are being made by the locofoco leaders in this slate irom the lowest extremity to the summits ol the 13lue ridge the short lived triumph which ihey obtained two years aÂ«'o has inspired them wilh confidence in the present contest and our friends may rest as sured that the conflict will be a fierce one and if the train-bands of locofocoism shall be forced to surrender on the oih of august as we trust in heaven they may and confidently be lieve they will it will not be for the want of any advantage which cunning vigilance deception falsehood and money can give them ! in view then of these facts what shall we say to our whig brethren proper of north carolina ? will they once more buckle on their armor and go forth to the rescue 1 can they be depended upon in thc present crisis ? will they not stand by their glorious candidates state and nalional 1 will they not send to our friends in every part ot the union the assur ance that noi th carolina whoever else may falter stands by them lo the last ? and what shail we say to the freemen generally ofthe state â€” tbe ti lends oi popular rights nnd ofthe people's sovereignly ! let them march lo lhe polls like lhe freemen they are and assert nol in the cauiious whispers of slaves but in the tones of manly independence their rights as such rights for which lhe whigs of : 7g spill their blood and spent their tieasure â€” but of which lhe locofoco leaders ol the present day and ot our own state would seek to divest and deprive ihem a bold unfaltering unbroken f on i_and victory lull and comple is yours !

â€” now again however it seems to be found necessary to import one of tlie same polili cal missionaries to enlighten the " ignor ant and benighted people of the state further and to prop up the rider of that same free suffrage bantling which he in troduced into our midst as an element of party capital ! we have widely mistaken the character of the people ol norlh carolina if they will not set their faces as flints against such impudent attempts to dictate to them what are their duties and what their rights the main question involved in this campaign and virtually to be decided by it is of a local bearing and of vital im portance to our domestic concerns â€” being nothing more nor less than the question whether it shall be submitted to the peo ple to say if they desire a convention to amend their own constitution or not and here comes up a locofoco aspirant for the presidency from the non-slave holding !
